In darkness, high upon some rugged peak
And seen the stars arneHr in sudden rout
Before the setting rs children seek
In play to 'scape pursuit by running round
Some intervening bush while on the ground

A glitteriug plain ia the star-lit night;
There no sign Of life, no sound, but the moan
OF the winds But then ! seemed not alone.

Thrown back from the noisOule food as the seas
Reflect the stars have listened 70 the call
OF the night-birds Tow colapIoinings and oil
The saddeniug sounds OF night; the sudden

OF stricken trees, and then the startling dash

With lurid flash athwart the stormy sky;

'rneptHD ana busting Room.
There is much difference Of opinion
among household authorities as 10 the
proper method of sweeping and ganishiug
loom. Whether windows shall be opened
or closed during the cleansing process Is
one of the moOted questions. a simple
and satisfactory way is to cover ali the
articles of furniture with cotton cloths or
sheets kept for the purpose. Whatever
may be lifted conveniently should be taken
om Of the room to facilitate matters. With
long-handled feather buster remove all
the dust from walls and pictures, having
lett window open from the top so that the
dust dIslodged by the buster may pass out.
If there be a carpet on the floor, sweep 1t
carefully with a straw broom that has been
dampened, but which Will shed no drops Of
water. In this way the minimum of dust
Will be set free in the air.
In corners where the broom Will not
reach use a damp whisk brush, kept for
the purpose. Put all the dust and stuff IN
n bucket or coal scuttle, that it may be
burned as soon as possible. After the room
Is swept throw open all the windows, and
when the dust remaining has settled, care
fully remove the covers from the furniture
and shake them out of the windows. Then
cover the articles in the next room to be
swept. If the floors are polished, all the
rugs should be removed before the walls
are busted, and the floor should lie swept
with hair broom and then wiped with a
damp, not wet, cloth. For busting use a
soft cloth, slightly damp, so that it viii

another may be busting, but II is not cleans
ing. 4 fine bristle brush should be en-
ployed to remove dust from carved wood.
Window sashes are too often neglected
by tie average domestic; they should be
carefully busted, and linen cloth should
be employed 10 rub off the glass, which
collects dust as readily as any piece of
furniture. In a room where there are
draperies these should be busted before as
well as after the sweeping, and they should
then be carefully pinned, not tied up some
distance from the floor. For lace curtains
a rather stiff hair brush viii be found adj
mirable for dislodging any dust that may
have collected. 1t Is an unwise practice TO

THE FARM.


Every farmer before killing hogs or other
animals should have them weighed, SO that
il may be known how great is the loss in
killing and dressing. In selling by live
weight buyers require farmers 10 deduct a
larger percentage for wastage than is gen.
orally experienced. In well-fattened, COM
pactly- built porkers the waste is often not
more than twenty per cent. of the whole,
and sometimes less even than this.

One reason hogs are more liable to dis
ease is because usually no pains are taken
to provide them with plenty of clean water.
The sWill tub with its dishwater and other
slop is no substitute for pure water SO far
rs health is concerned. In winter,
especially, there is little advantage IN Civ
ing sloppy food. The hog will thrive
better ii given its meal only slightly
moistened and left to drink what clean
water it chooses from another dish.
